Katrina McGhee

Career Break Coach

On the power of taking a career break

Season 2 Episode 1

Have you been feeling burnt out in your career and in need of a long break? This is an episode you don’t want to miss. 


In this episode of Conversations with Seven Sisters I am joined by Katrina McGhee (Smith College ℅ ‘01), Career Break & Sabbatical Fairy Godmother here to make your dreams come true. In the episode we talk about how Katrina found her niche as a career break specialist by taking her own career break after feeling burnt out in her second career in corporate America. She discusses how her career break saved her life and how you too can take one. She also shares her current project of writing a book for the “For Dummies” series on Career Breaks for Dummies that will be coming out in the Fall. 


Thinking about taking a career break and not sure if you can or if it's right for you? Katrina addresses your worries and answers some questions on who takes career breaks and how they prepare. Let us know you listened by posting on one of our
Facebook Groups about what you learned from the episode. 


In this episode Jen and Katrina cover finding the right career for you, Katrina’s own career break, the challenges of writing a book, and why you should take a career break too. 


Katrina is a Career Break & Sabbatical Fairy Godmother here to make your dreams come true. She is a certified master coach with an MBA, who help 9-5ers create successful, mind-blowing career breaks and fight through the fear of breaking from their conventional career paths to create a life that brings fulfillment, joy, adventure or whatever they are craving.
